SUMMARY:OOO MeetUp for the Gaming Industry
DESCRIPTION:What are OOO Meetups? \nAt Frontier RTP, we are constantly growing and making connections. We developed OOO Meetups as a way of helping connect like-minded professionals, entrepreneurs, and industry insiders during our regular, weekly Out of Office “OOO” events.\n\nWith each meetup, we work with a co-host to facilitate the networking and educational session while we pour the drinks. \nOur hope is that the meetups will spark dialogue, start relationships, and make your happy hour meaningful. Did we mention there will be free craft beer from Fullsteam Brewery, wine selected by RTP Uncorked, and non-alcoholic options? \nAbout the Meetup\nWork in the gaming industry or interested to know more about it? This meetup, co-hosted by International Game Developers Association NC-Triangle Chapter, is for you! We’ll discuss the ever evolving role of games and game design principles in the tech and products we use everyday.\nGame Plan\n\n4:30 – 5:00 p.m. | Check In, Drinks & Networking\n\n5:00 – 5:45 p.m. | Educational Session in Blue Ridge \n5:45 – 6:30 p.m. | Drinks & Networking\n\nWhat You’ll Learn\nTopic: AI Tools and Game Development\nIt has been 3 years since the public release of ChatGPT. Since then, we’ve seen incredible evolutions of AI technology, and it’s spilled over into how we develop our games today. Come learn how generative AI can help solo developers and small teams do the work that used to take large teams! Your dream game might be possible to make, if you learn about the opportunities available to all since the last year.\nWe recognize that AI is a hot button issue, and we ask that the discussion be kept to tools rather than a political/moral discussion. We will have other opportunities to discuss the implications of using AI at another time.\nOur Session Leader\nSession Leader: Alix Ollivier\nOur speaker for this event is Alix Ollivier, an XR developer and AI advocate working on Balloon Bats, a Meta Quest VR game with over 1,000 active players. He studied at the University of Southern California’s CS (Games) program.\n\nInterested in hosting your meetup during Out Of Office? Want to invite your department for some out-of-office team building? Are you holding an event in Frontier RTP the same day as Out Of Office and would like to invite your attendees to grab a beer before or after? If any of these scenarios sound like you, please reach out to our Programming Team for options and pricing to make sure we have enough beer to go around: programming@rtp.org.\n\n\n      \n        \n        \n      \n    \n
